This very pretty name is French in origin, though like many French names it has a Germanic root. It actually comes from the word gisil, which in the old Frankish language meant "pledge." There is a very odd story associated with this name.
In the Middle Ages, in much of Europe but especially in France, it was quite usual for the children of aristocratic families to be brought up in a different family from their own. This was partly because it was thought that they would learn discipline and self-reliance this way, but more importantly, a child would often be left with a powerful household as a "pledge" of loyalty by the child's parents. In the case of a daughter, it was often agreed that she would marry a son of the family when she was old enough. It is believed that the name Giselle derives from this custom.
